Blue Gel takes us to a world where the most indicative symbol of someone’s status, wealth and power is the amount of time they spend in virtual reality, for which it is necessary to submerge oneself in tanks of protein gel. When a dead baby turns up in the tank of Gloria Cubil, the daughter of one of Mexico’s most powerful men, the lawyers hire Crajales, a low-level detective, to find the culprit. With the help of his former partner, Crajales uncovers a web of crime and corruption adapted to the new technological realities. Blue Gel is a renowned cyberpunk novel, winner of the Ignotus Award in 2007, where artificial paradises end up being insufficient to give meaning to life.
